Here I stand alone again,Reaching out across the roomQuietly the sun's gone downAnd sailors seek the harborLook at us sailing in, decks awash, but still afloatAnd now the wind's come up to rock us on the water.

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchorWaiting out the long voyage,'Round the cape of hope we'll take her

In the calm before the stormSunny days and smoother watersWhen we hit the seventh wave,We found a line and caught herLook into my eyes, let me seeWhere you've been sailingLike you I've felt the stormAnd heard the wild waves wailing

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchorWaiting out the long voyage,'Round the cape of hope we'll take her

Steer clear of the shore,The coast is rough and rockyIt's the deepest channel that runs most true,The brightest stars that mark herSteady as she goes,There's no turning back the sailorsWith the ship on course and the sea wind fair,There's no need to fail her.

Riding out the storm like a ship safe at anchorWaiting out the long voyage,'Round the cape of hope we'll take her
